Tom Krasovic of U-T San Diego labeled the 32-year-old wide receiver the MVP of the team's spring sessions after Floyd was the "most-targeted" pass-catcher on the roster.

Floyd was "tested repeatedly" in the passing game and "won more than he lost" against San Diego's rash of defensive backs, according to Krasovic.

"I don't have any doubts in my mind right now," Floyd said last month of his status for this month's training camp.

His healthy return to the lineup would serve as a boost to Philip Rivers, giving the quarterback an upgrade over Vincent Brown who can eat up yardage downfield. Floyd averaged an outrageous 24.8 yards per reception in his six catches before the neck injury.
